Engaging in silly and nostalgic behaviour.

Soooo, I didn't go to bed last night. I'd been busy writing (and writing and WRITING), saw it was already close to 3:00, so decided just to slog ahead and try to finish the story (especially as I wasn't sure whether AO3 followed GMT). Finished my quirky fic for the LGBT Fest 2016 Amnesty and posted it to the comm around 5:15. With a little more puttering around, I finally went to bed at 5:50, setting the alarm for 10:00, so that the cats would get fed. Let's just say I was not a happy camper when I woke up. Four hours nowadays is way too little.

I was lazy in the afternoon. Watched the Year of the Farce I'd recorded last night but, as I was lying in bed, I missed a lot of the jokes, so I'll be rewatching. Early evening, I made myself some traditional Polish baby pierogi filled with chopped mushrooms and sauerkraut, traditionally served in a meatless beet broth on Christmas Eve. Hey, it was NYE and I had them with sour cream. Later I enjoyed one bubbly drink - a can of Tonic Water - and some European chocolates. Okay, I'm feeling very content. I got to indulge in behaviour from a decade ago when writing all night was something I did often. But it's not healthy to stay up overnight even if one catches up on sleep during the day and I have to acknowledge that. So, perhaps, I'll do it only a couple times a year. Hey, I think that's my frivolous NYE resolution. On a more serious note, I hope to have a serene year (again) and NO health problems. I wish all of you the same. Note I didn't include prosperous because, hey, that's just pushing it (so not lol).

Anyway, I'm dreading going off to church tomorrow. Without SuM at home to salt the driveway, I'm going to have to exit via the front door and get the driver to help me retrieve my walker. It's supposed to be 50 later in the week. I've got my fingers crossed for lots of MELTING!!!!!

Good night and good sleep!
